Bokeh - FE lens on APS-C body?

Hi everyone. The vast majority of my pictures are of people at family events so I always want as much insolation (background blur) as possible. Since the new full frame FE lenses could be use on NEX APS-C bodies, would the full frame FE 55 F1.8 lens perform as a 37 F1.2 lens on a NEX crop sensor and give me a whole lot of bokeh? Thanks.
